This is Me
Hi there! I am Missy Cochran and I love photography, I fact, you could say that I am obsessive. It all started when I got married and had my wonderfully awesome grandpa take my pictures. He was a professional photographer and I thought all photographers were the same. After the wedding, I got the pictures back and they were all very traditional. Not grandpa’s fault, but mine for not knowing what I wanted. Anyway, I realized too late that I had actually wanted something different than what I got. Since my wedding is all over, I now get to live vicariously through my awesome couples. Other stuff about me is that I make a goal every three months to run regularly, but haven’t yet quite found my mojo. I think I like the idea of being a runner but maybe I am not really one at heart! I love sweets and I love my church and doing things that add joy to my life.

Erika’s Ann invited me to co-shoot this session with her. She lured me there with the promise of horses and dreadlocks. It was so fun hanging out with Erika and her friends who prodused this editorial style session with resources on hand. You can see the rest of the photos here.
We went to Helvetia Oregon for these pictures, my favorite spot. Sam was a dream to photograph. You can see the rest here.
Because of the swine flu, the hospitals are limiting the number of visitors to their maternity ward. I got to be one of two people allowed to visit my sister when she had her baby because she wanted pictures. Many of you know Melanie, she second shoots all my weddings with me and she got a chance to see what it feels like to be the subject of photography. Here is her brand new baby, Michael, in the hospital and one of Kevin, her husband, who was the only other person allowed to visit.
